cat – Sundays at the Shelter

Goodbye 2016

This is a screen shot of my desktop featuring our Angel Tommie. And there’s the folder of cat photographs holding hundreds of pictures from PAWS taken in 2016.

Angel

This pretty stray cat was brought in to the shelter recently, ending her rough time on the street. Angel is shy but friendly, and must have had a family that loved her at some point. I wish we knew her story.

Iris

This new girl at the shelter has remarkable eyes. I wonder if that’s how she got her name. When I first saw her, I was reminded of my friend’s collection of sea glass.

Chyna Blue

Chyna is a new cat at the shelter. She has extraordinary blue eyes and (I’m sorry but it’s true) needs to go on a diet.
Updated February 2010- Chyna has finally been adopted!

Grover

Poor Grover wonders how he ended up in a shelter after ten years in a comfortable loving home. After his person entered a nursing home, he was brought to PAWS.

Cat Sitting

This morning Snoopy wanted me to know that my services were no longer required. He feels perfectly capable of opening doors and finding his own food, thank you very much.

Cat TV

We have cat TV at PAWS. Jezebel is fascinated. It must be a more interesting show than what’s playing at my house… She also has beautiful orange eyes. I hope she’s not sitting too close to the TV!
